per the book, the brakes should have 1-3/4 to 2" of free travel at the pedal. adjust the top adjuster until tight then back off 2 turns then loosen the jamb nut on the bottom bolt and tighten bolt until brake band contacts drum then back out 1/2 turn. if needed, tighten the top again until about 2" free travel. too tight makes them heat up and too loose is what you have. I have found the bottom bolt gets frozen easily, I would put some never seize on the threads before turning the bolt into the housing. if this does not help, check to be sure there is no oil on the drums. good luck
